  Bean anthracnose is an important disease affecting common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in Hararghe highlands which produces common bean in large areas. The study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of integrated management of bean anthracnose through soil solarization and fungicide applications on disease development and seed health of common bean variety Mexican-142. Field experiments were conducted at Haramaya University and Hirna research station in 2010 summer season. Soil solarization was integrated with mancozeb and carbendazim seed treatments, with foliar sprays of carbendazim at the rate of 0.5 kg/ha at 10 and 20 days intervals. The experiment was arranged in 2×3×3 split-split plot design with three replications. There was significant difference in the anthracnose incidence, severity, infected pods per plant, infected seeds and AUDPC among treatments. Combined ef.. View More»
